These tracks are in no particular order and I’ve tried to list each artist only once… but found it difficult to narrow it down to one track in many cases… never mind…
- Kissing a fool or maybe Spinning the Wheel or perhaps Cowboys and Angels… all classics by George Michael… I love the intro to Cowboys and Angels about 45 seconds in and also the smooth mellow saxophone instrumental at the end… Oh, and Fast Love and December Song, Georges ‘other’ Christmas song…
- Space Oddity or maybe Fame or maybe Aladdin Sane by David Bowie: legend…
- Corner of the Earth by Jamiroquai: awesome track which reminds me of trekking in remote places
- Sunny Afternoon by The Kinks: love this… chillin’ summery F*** it kind of song… also like ‘Tired of Waiting for You’… how cool were the 60’s?
- Tainted Love by Soft Cell: brilliant and classic 80’s track
- Gloria; Sunday Bloody Sunday; New Years Day… I’m a big fan of early 80’s U2 tracks. Oh yes… and Party Girl… silly but fab song!
- Could You Be Loved? One of Bob Marley’s brilliant tracks…
- Light my fire by The Doors: always been a fave; together with People are Strange…
- Club Tropicana by Wham! You can feel the holiday vibe with this
- Pass out by Tinie Tempah: love the instrumental bits in this
- California Dreaming by Mamas and Papas: bunch of hippies singing about one of my favourite places… love it!
- Bohemian Like You by Dandy Warhols
- Spaceman by Babylon Zoo… slightly weird
- Blue Monday by New Order: reminds me of the 80’s
- Valerie by Amy Winehouse: brilliant track… or Back to Black? Maybe Back to Black pips the post of my Amy faves… a bit depressing but Amy at her best…
- Happy by Pharrell Williams: a real uplifting song… in fact probably the most uplifting song I can think of
- Hawaii 5-0 theme tune: one of my favourite instrumentals; reminds me of Hawaii
- Green Onions by Booker T and the MGs: classic… ‘nuff said…
- Paint it Black by Rolling Stones: a classic Stones track… closely followed by ‘The Last Time’… love this too…
- Echo Beach by Martha And The Muffins: gotta have a beach track or two in here somewhere!
- Don’t stop the Music by Rhianna: I like a few Ri Ri songs but this is probably my fave…
- Livin La Vida Loca by Ricky Martin: maybe a bit cheesy but I still love this track from old swivel hips!
- Smile by Lily Allen… bit of attitude from Lily… Love it…
- The Real Slim Shady by Eminem: one of many excellent Eminem tracks
- Feel by Robbie Williams: by far the best Robbie track… spine tingly brilliant…
- Aint No Sunshine by Bill Withers
- Wonderwall by Oasis… classic
- Smells like Teen Spirit by Nirvana; one of my favourite bands
- Mambo Italiano by Sophia Loren: love a bit of latino Italiano…
- Mucho Mambo (sway) by Shaft… more latino… makes me want to get up and dance about… sorry, one more… also Lambada by Kaoma… want to find a beach bar and do the lambada all afternoon with easy access to a jug of caipirinha… sigh…
- Thriller by Michael Jackson: have heard this hundreds of times but never get tired of it… well its either Thriller or Off the Wall… I love Off the Wall too, real boppy stuff…
- Black Velvet by Alannah Myles: sultry…
- Gypsies Tramps And Thieves by Cher: best Cher track… so original… actually not usually keen on her songs but this is an awesome track…
- Age of Aquarius by The 5th Dimension: my birth sign and another hippy track!
- Mrs Robinson – Simon & Garfunkel… fantastic classic film! Scarborough Fair and Sound of Silence are more awesome tracks…
- She’s not there by The Zombies
- The Pirates of the Caribbean theme tune… love this and could listen to it over and over again… fabulous piece of music
- Hips Don’t Lie by Shakira: Sassy… wish I could shake and swivel my hips in the manner of Shakira…
- Sweet Child O’ Mine by Guns N’ Roses… awesome track especially towards the end where it goes… ‘Where do we go… where do we go now…’
- Dreadlock Holiday by 10cc: an absolute must have in my list!
- Love and Pride by King: not the best vocals but a brilliant tune… another classic 80’s track and really uplifting
- Lady Gaga – Telephone ft Beyonce… love this song!
- Call Me – Blondie… brilliant 70’s track…
